Autumn Open Mic
14 November 2025
We hosted our first Open Mic of the academic year on Friday 14 November.
We had a wonderful selection of performances from pupils ranging from new Year 7 groups to a new Year 10 band as well as our Year 11 Band. There was even a surprise performance from the teachers band: Mr Panteli on drums, Mr O'Mara on bass, Mr Smith on guitar and Mr Ward on vocals!

Pupils performed in various bands, groups and we had some solo singers perform to great acclaim. The event was a wonderful celebration of the musical talent at our school.
The next Open Mic will be on Friday 30 January. Any interested performers can speak to Dr Viljoen to sign up for the event.
